Surely is it only opens in Chrome, its pointless, I doubt people will download chrome just to look at one web site (me included)

 

[DotNetWebs]

Well yes. As I have said in the Steve Jobs vs Flash debate:

HTML5 is a long way from being mainstream yet. And as a result Flash is a long way from being dead yet.

But eventually the other browsers will catch up and HTML5 will become mainstream.

I just thought that for those already thinking about HTML5 (who may well already have Chrome installed), that this may be of some interest to them.

It is quite a bit more than looking at one web site.

Since moving to an Android phone Chrome has become my primary browser.

Chrome to Phone - loving it!

I only use Chrome these days.

Its super fast and does what I need. However it doesn't handle javascript. It kind of ignores it lol!

When testing I use FF but never IE. IE is...very bad.

Are you using Chrome? I have heard it runs in Safari as well as thats HTML5 compatible however haven't tested it.

Love it, that's one of the best demo's i've seen to date.

As for the Chrome browser debate, personally I use it as my primary everyday browser due to it being so lightweight and fast. Plus, with the added benefit of every tab being independent of the other (so if one tab crashes it wont kill all the others), when you've got at least 10 open at a time this is invaluable!

Still use Firefox for developing though due to it's superior plugin tools archive...

I loved it too. Thanks for the link

Completely agree. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the post!

Yep chrome rocks (imho) I use it becauses its lean and mean, its cross platform (yeah I know firefox is also) and just being able to type the search in the address bar.

Actually, it handles JavaScript perfectly well. It ignores badly written scripts as many web designers are too lazy to design their JavaScript to work with anything other than IE.

Let me clarify, I am using chrome and I do get something, but I can't see what is different/special.

Ordinarily, that site would have had to have been built in Flash (which even then wouldn't have handled the different windows as far as I'm aware). Instead the site has been built in HTML5

literally can't wait to ditch everything except html5 and css3

we've already decided that there's no way we're wasting time developing for IE6. They can upgrade or miss out.

Very slick!

 

[That Guy]

Like that allot

I have just recently switched to Google Chrome and loving the Speed compared to Firefox!

 

[ppinc]

very nice!

 

Works in Safari too.
Cool video.

Great stuff. HTML5 really has some nice features. Can't wait to have it fully supported by all browsers.(Albeit might take some time for that to happen). Still quite a few browsers support the most popular HTML5 and CSS3 features already so we might have a richer and simpler internet fairly soon.
